Environmental Impact

There are many advantages to upgrading your business’ lighting with LED retrofits; one is helping the planet.LED lights significantly reduce the environmental impact compared to conventional lighting.

More than 70% of the electricity produced in the U.S. comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels, creating green house gasses contributing to climate change. Studies
show that energy needs will continue to increase. By 2030, world energy demands will rise by more than 35% as developing nations modernize.

LED Lighting is Energy Efficient
LED lights are 75% more efficient than traditional lighting such as fluorescent and incandescent lights. 95% of the energy in LEDs is converted into light and only 5% is
wasted as heat. Less energy use reduces the demand from power plants and decreases greenhouse gas emissions.

LEDs Don’t Contain Toxic Elements
Traditional fluorescent strip lights contain noxious chemicals like mercury. These chemicals contaminate the environment so disposal must be arranged through
a registered waste disposal provider. Switching to LED avoids the cost and time required for compliant disposal – and helps to protect the environment from further
toxic waste.

LEDs Have Long Lives
LED lights last up to 6 times longer than other types of lights, ending frequent replacements, and requiring fewer resources for manufacturing, packaging materials
and transportation.
